The changing balance of power following the Cold War as well as the transformation from the industrial age to the information age, have led to the creation of new defense doctrines in military strategies. The transition from the platform-centered war to the usage of Network Centric Warfare is described as the greatest military revolution of the last century.

Since the aviation industry, the backbone of the defense industry, is a powerful locomotive that continuously transfers technology to many industries, the developments in the field of UAV technology is, in a sense, a strategic investment in our future.

With advances in the design and production costs of the UAV Systems, and technological advances contributing to the miniaturization process of the existing systems gave acceleration to research that aims autonomous UAV systems rather than singular point-to-point control.

With the SWARM UAV Competition, development of software algorithms for performing defined tasks based on task sharing with multiple UAVs is expected.
